What Does Inverted Kidney Mean?
I had elevated triglycerides at a recent doctor visit. Doctor ordered an ultrasound and was told I had an inverted kidney during the test. What does this mean and what might cause elevated triglycerides?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
An incidental finding of this malformation, is not of any worry.
If the kidney is not atrophic(shrunken),it should be working well.
If there any other changes noted,you should've a CECT(contrast CT scan).
That'll show the function of the kidneys very clearly.
You'll need to take statins for your high TGL.(triglycerides).
If you've any doubts,you may send reports as a direct question,in my name.
